Barbs for 7/16" ID tubing

Devious · 27 Dec 2008 at 17:26

can someone confirm these are the right barbs for 7/16" ID tubing.

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-006-EK

Bought 12 lately from 2 other places and 6 are right and 6 are wrong,

These are as they were listed

6 x EK 3/8" ID fitting G1/4" "High flow fitting for 3/8" ID tubing"

and

6 x G1/4" to 3/8" Hose Tail (EK) (EK1438)

Ive mixed them together so not sure which of the above are the ones that are fine

I stayed away from the EK G1/4" to 1/2" as it read the barbs were 14mm but now im thinking that might be right and somehow ive fluked 6 that are ok.

Cheers

The G1/4 is the thread size though, not the barb size.

As pegasus1 said 1/2 barbs. The tubing will fit very tightly with no need for any clamps on the tubing.

Indeed G1/4 or 1/4" BSPP thread, as specified on both types in OP. 1/2" barbs for 7/16" tubing for a tight fit.

EK 1/2" ID fitting G1/4"

Hole diameter : 10mm
Outer diameter of the barb: 14mm
